Untitled (Sword)
2009 - Sculpture (Sculpture)
6 x 96 in. / 15.24 x 243.84 cm
Shilpa Gupta
In Untitled (Sword) , addressing histories of colonialism with abstraction, a large steel blade extends from the gallery wall. Its severed tip dangles from the end of the blade by a string, floating just above the gallery floor.
Mumbai-based Shilpa Gupta’s practice crosses disciplines and media to include interactive videos, websites, objects, photographs, sound, and public performances. Probing and examining themes such as desire, religion, tradition, gender, global capitalism, social injustice, security, borders, and power, Gupta actively engages herself with the political and cultural world around her.
